Unpopular opinion of the day.

I personaly think yasuo's move set is fine. He take skill to master his passive shield, munipulating minion wave for engage/escape. Chargeing your dash to hit your enemy hard, but not screwing over your own escape. Hit ult can easily screw you over. Also a little cc or exhaust and hes dead. His windwall causes people issues, but you just have to play around it, you know like any other shield. Pick a champion that isnt affected by the wall. Now saying this his synergy with items is the issue. I dont he himself needs nerfs or move changes the items need tweaked. Im not a Yasuo main, im not particularly good at him. I love watching a good player fly around on him though. He has down sides and people dont seem to know how to combat him.

More like, people don't want to learn how to combat him.

He is so easily countered, that pretty much anybody can win against him.

I mean, people called him weak, a trollpick back when his shield lasted two seconds, could be recovered about 10 seconds faster by just walking, fully recovered in 4 dashes, when he had higher movement speed and health, but also when the stacked-up bonus on the dash dealt twice the damage.

I played him for two seasons following his release, but on the third one, I nearly stopped altogether, because of how weak and exploitable he actually got after those nerfs. Like I could pick him only when I was the last pick on the Red team, when I knew, most of the enemy team wouldn't be able to do shit about me, because only then was a chance to not get obliterated in 5 minutes.

Don't get me wrong, I love when I get to lane against him, because without his jungler helping him the whole time, he just goes 0/10 in 15 minutes and becomes a non-factor even with the Windwall.

Excatly you can win against him. Just dont be stupid. If he wins lane either he counter picked you or was just a better player.

Really people would rather lose and QQ on the boards than learning how to play against a champion. no shit you get rekt by yasuo mains, most yasuo mains are pretty good at their champion. Yeah he is pretty op and that doesn't help, but stop pretending like he's fucking release rengar and you can't do anything.

He isn't OP either.

Well, wasn't before the current bug, as he was sporting 49% and lower - as low as 44% - winrate at mid for the past 2 years.

A wall on a 20 second cooldown that can block ults for your whole team k

Vistha KaiSep 2, 20162 votes

Then how about a wall on a 6 second cooldown that can block ults for your whole team?

GULAG 4 USep 2, 20161 votes

Well then you're stupid if you fire ults when the wall is up.
